Ingredients
Scale
Main Components:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 3 medium eggs, beaten
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- Salt to taste
Cooking Oil:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Instructions
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and gently scramble eggs in olive oil until they’re fully cooked and set. Transfer eggs to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic for approximately 60 seconds, releasing their aromatic qualities and creating a fragrant base.
- Introduce cabbage and carrots to the skillet, drizzling with remaining olive oil. Cover and allow vegetables to soften for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Pour both soy sauces, oyster sauce, and sugar into the vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld flavors and enhance seasoning.
- Reintegrate the previously cooked eggs into the skillet, gently folding them into the vegetable mixture to distribute evenly and create a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
- Perform a final taste check, adjusting salt levels if necessary, and ensure all ingredients are heated through before serving.
Notes
- Enhance egg texture by whisking them with a pinch of salt before scrambling, creating fluffier, more tender eggs.
- Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the stir-fry.
- Swap soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free dietary needs, maintaining the rich umami flavor profile.
- Boost protein content by adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp during the vegetable cooking stage for a more substantial meal.
